Publisher’s description

Many applications have a need to determine and manipulate some representation of the time. HP-UX offers many time-based interfaces. The resolution of the time provided by these interfaces, the accuracy, whether the provided time is relative to a known epoch or is relative to the time at which the system booted, plus of course their performance, varies. Selecting the most appropriate time interface, particularly in application performance paths, can significantly impact application performance. This paper provides an overview of the various time-based interfaces on HP-UX.
